Can this slow your weight loss down? I'm 3 year out, why I'm gaining weight again? Does weight loss surgery cause memory loss or fogginess, and hair loss? Does weight loss often lead to an increase in the desire for other stimulants like cigarettes or coffee or sugar since food is of less interest?

Is enteric coated baby aspirin OK for post VSG for cardiac prophylaxis? Has anyone ever been resleeved? You recommend a certain percentage ratio of protein to fat to carbs?
